Who’ll stop the Rain?

It has been raining in Chicago and Texas nonstop, and snowing in Colorado, who’ll stop the rain?

And, who could deny a girl in a bee costume dancing? This is probably one of my first memories of music videos growing up? Maybe I will be a bee for Halloween instead of a [...]

The First Time at Lincoln Hall

Free. Alive. Grinning. Standing outside the brand new venue that is Lincoln Hall I knew I would get in. I knew it, I felt it as I have before in moments like these at a sold out show with no ticket in hand. But, I sure did not think I would be let in for [...]

Old School Colorado Journalism

A couple years ago when I was still living in Colorado, I travelled over to Chicago for my interview with the partners of the firm I currently work with. I conveniently planned it for the same weekend as Lollapalooza. I am smarter than I look. I was thinking about this last night, when I [...]

One fast move or I’m gone

Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, Uncle Tupelo, and Son Volt are all nice but these two guys together I dig. Their new album sets the tone for the movie based on Big Sur which I (selfishly) purchased for Kevin on his birthday today. I am looking forward to checking out the DVD that comes [...]

Those who have seen The Cave Singers live know that these guys have a special sound. Thanks for keeping it real Peter. When I listen to their music I want to jump up and down, grab my friends and get the fuck out of town.

3 Days til Big Sur

Keouac Films is releasing One.Fast Move. or. I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur
My favorite author, the movie trailer opening lines gave me the chills. Ben Gibbard and Jay Farrar did the soundtrack, I am anticipating greatness but I have been wrong before. Here is an excerpt from Kerouac Films below…

A dirty riot weekend

Vampire Weekend meets Ra Ra Riot sprinkled with some Dirty Projectors, mix it all up and you get “Discovery”, who released an album called LP on July 7. I know this video is a bit weird but this song is worth it.
